what is law? It is indeed a social structure aproved views but those ideas till acceptable to general society that long it is valid else violent results surface. Law indeed is not very sacrosanct. So even judgeinterpretations and orders too do not have long validity as some new bench may come forward with new kind of interretation on issues as justice AK shah legalozed 'gay marriage' at delhi high court . It was against age old tradition of marriages. Yet succeeded just because more numbers lived and liked to live that way openly.
one should know gay life was there time immemorial everywhere but yet that was not openly recognized.
see for instance there s gujarat tradition of concubine law. Gujarati society accepted concubines by a system of law though every place there was concubine system but it did not get legality stamp, except in Gujarat. Concubines get legal right to a part of the person's properties.
so there is nothing hard and fast rules and laws, once when law stamp is given that system survives. similarly living in relationship is recognized today. that way a lawyer lady lived in relationship with another lawyer and when she was killed bt a watchman then the all facts came out that the lady lawyer killed by watchman was a daughter of an IAS man.so what i say there is metamorphic transitional think today till s thought think is finally settled and finally accepted there will be wobblings.
In this case it is a question of living in relations apart from regular marriage. when living in relationship is valid per law never it mentioned that there shall be legal divorce before living in relationship how bigamy laws will stand is a great question. so supreme court asked government of india to take a stand on 'gay marriages' and government went into a mode whether to accept or not to but when court forced a decision , finally government agreed to legalize gay marriages.
so there is nothing sacrosanct as far as marrages are concerned when divorces became a norm today unlike inthe past when regular marriages per religions' accepted norms were erformed. today which religion allows living in relations or gay marriages especially in india.
Islam, hinduism as also christianity never accepted 'living in relations' or 'gay marriages but new generation over ruled the religious tenets. Islam allowed four wives and three ponouncement of talaq just orally but very same islam never openly agreed for gay relations, living in relations though all these things were there in the humanrace by surruptious means by real open defiance to all laws that were present.
When AP Shah as CJI prnounced at Delhi high court, then a lot of flip n flop took place.
so the bigamy laws how sacrosanct is being tested today by urges of the new generation of people, what law courts will do? the courts will decide per a law or a code while other laws when permitting there emerges serious conflict of laws, as both laws remain as several kinds of think is prevalent.
in a society before getting married girl will like to have s*xual experience of the would be boy and that still goes on who objects but that goes on. so nothing sacrosanct but only some explosions.
Living in relationship is the think this HR girl has been trying but when so why she needs a marriage as living in relationship to provides a legal right to other aspects too, including property shares.
in fact the person opting for living in relations never bothered about their progeny's welfare and that too is surreptiously happening. Now shares in properties will soon surface. so laws and statutes are in flud state. there are no principles as such but just some practices are getting legal status by people like justice AP shah and then it becomes a norm and it forced supreme court to press the government for a stand recently on gay marriages, is it not? AEvery reader may know this aspectwhere is treat sanctity we all talk about. it is nothing self delusion!
